I just realized it has been so long since I last blogged a family session. This was an August morning down at the shore where the air was so thick with humidity it stopped us in our tracks, but it didn’t really matter because the three little cousins were full of giggles and the family was all together at grandma and grandpa’s house.
I recently worked with the Sue Adler Team in creating some new and fresh images for them. Great brand visuals can define and elevate your brand presence, help you build relationships and connect you to clients in an authentic, interesting way. You don’t always have to stick to a white or grey backdrop when taking headshots. Instead take your photos outside or shoot in an environment that speaks to your business. For this shoot we shot in one of Sue Adler’s listings and it was the perfect spot to showcase what they do … sell homes.

This summer we decided to explore the Maritime provinces of Canada. I went to university in Nova Scotia (Acadia University) but we've never traveled there as a family so we decided to stick fairly close to home and explore the east coast of Canada. We covered quite a bit of ground during the week we were away. We flew to Bangor, Maine, rented a Dodge Ram pick-up truck on the advise of the car rental lady who said we were heading into moose country. I should note .. we never saw a moose. Grrr..
Our first stop was St. Andrews by the Sea, New Brunswick which is a charming seaside town. We then travelled onto PEI (Prince Edward Island), all throughout Nova Scotia and eventually back to New Brunswick where we flew home via Maine.
Nova Scotia's picturesque coastline.
The Bay of Fundy is one of the 7 wonders of North America. It has the highest tides on earth and the red coastline is because of a high level of iron. I recall in university people going tubing in the water and coming back with thick red mud all over themselves. I never took part in the tradition, but now I wish I had.
Acadia University is located in Wolfville, NS about an hour from Halifax. We toured the small, idyllic campus and I was able to show the family my old dorm, where I took my classes and most importantly where my friends and I hung out. The crazy thing is that after 20+ years not much has changed. Walking back into the town bar was a blast from the past! What had changed though is a beautiful vineyard that is only a short drive from Wolfville. The winery is called Luckett Vineyards and their fun English phone booth located amongst the vineyards is not to be missed. You can make a free call to anyone in North America and the kids right away picked up the phone to call their Grandma back in Vancouver.
Peggy's Cove is a small rural community located on the eastern shore of St. Margarets Bay in Nova Scotia. The lighthouse is what everyone comes to see and it does not disappoint. Every angle that you turn is like looking at a picture postcard. The lobster and seafood is the freshest and so delicious. On our last night we realized that for seven straight days we had only eaten seafood and not one bite of meat.
One one of my favorite parts of the trip was discovering a small town called Summerville on Nova Scotia's south shore. The Quarterdeck was right up my alley in terms of design and aesthetic. It was perched on a mile of pristine white sand and so relaxing. I did not want to leave!

I had the pleasure of shooting the new Serena & Lily store in Summit, NJ before they opened their doors this past week to the public. The store is a serious visual feast for your eyes and such a great new addition to our local town.
I was asked to photograph the Preview Party for The White Company that recently opened in the Short Hills Mall. I couldn't have been more excited as I am a long-time fan of this gorgeous British brand. Each time I travel to London I alway end up packing away some of their beautiful items in my carry-on. If I can't live in London, at least I know I can buy a little piece of Britain stateside.
